John,



It was good to meet you as well (and see Aubrey again-Hello Aubrey)...I remember seeing your "granite" specimens but you must have acquired those thayeri later on...



Yes, Mitch and Tim had some nice specimens also...



Generally, speaking, the number of breeders at the Daytona Show was down from last year (about a 100 tables or so)...Which maybe a sign of the economy as well as the ROC stuff from FWCC. I only saw a few of the ROC pythons represented at only a few breeder's tables...As a final observation, folks seemed to be looking for specific animals and then only acquiring only a few of them. Almost everyone I spoke to (breeders) said that this year was a down year...



Still, I was able to meet new folks and spend some time talking to some of the "old timers" (Carl May included)...On Friday, my friend and I traveled over to Bushnell to meet with Rob at Glades Herps, acquire some new Brooksi specimens and have a brief tour of some of their collection...Next year, we'll spend more time over there...



Later,

Jim.
